BOSTON (AP) — The chair of the Boston School Committee resigned Monday amid criticism of racially charged texts she shared with another member of the committee disparaging families of students, city officials announced Tuesday.
The texts were sent during a committee meeting last October as the board was considering a proposal to temporarily drop the entrance test requirement to the city’s exam schools.
“Best school committee meeting ever. I’m trying not to cry,” school committee Chair Alexandra Oliver-Davila texted to fellow committee member Lorna Rivera, according to the texts obtained by the Boston Globe.
“Wait until the white racists start yelling at us,” Rivera texted back. “Whatever. They’re delusional,” texted Oliver-Davila. “I hate WR,” she texted Rivera again, a reference to the city’s West Roxbury neighborhood.
“Sick of Westie whites,” Rivera replied. “Me too. I really feel like saying that,” Oliver-Davila texted.
In her resignation letter, Oliver-Davila apologized for the texts and the hurt they caused.
“I regret my personal texts, it was inappropriate,” she wrote. “But I am not ashamed of the feelings from history that made me write those words.”
Oliver-Davila cast the comments in the context of her personal history growing up in a city where she said was ostracized and teased, called racial slurs, spat on, and faced physical threats of violence.
During the meeting, Oliver-Davila said she felt transported to her youth as members of the public delivered testimony that she said at times was racist in nature...

“Alexandra Oliver-Davila”
Now we’re taking lip from imported braceros?
CRT = Communist Revolution Tactic
PICTURES PLEASE! I need to see who DESPISES me because GOD made me white!
For someone who was growing up in a city where she said she was ostracized and teased, called racial slurs, spat on, and faced physical threats of violence she seemed to do okay for herself, at least until she slipped up. Why is it you never hear from victimized plumbers or trash collectors or factory workers? It seems that only people with degrees from Ivy League schools making big bucks are oppressed.
Who sent the texts to the media?
And on an MA related note...
“I am being targeted as a Latina gender studies professor who teaches about racism, patriarchy, and oppression,” she wrote.
[IOW, she is an America-hating lesbian Communist.]
Doesn’t she mean “Latinx”? She must have missed the memo that said Hispanics aren’t male or female anymore.
Behold the root cause of black hate toward whites.
Blah Blah Blah. Seriously, whenever I hear a black/minority person go on like this they sounds to me like the teacher in those old Charlie Brown cartoons...blah blah blah...blah blah blah-blah
Phony apology/crocodile tears...contains a qualifier:
“But I am not ashamed of the feelings from history that made me write those words.”
In her resignation letter, Oliver-Davila apologized for the texts and the hurt they caused.
“I regret my personal texts, it was inappropriate,” she wrote. “But I am not ashamed of the feelings from history that made me write those words.”
That’s an apology ???
Memo to Oliver-Davila....GFYAD.
This is the similar voice of AOC. My comment, don’t like it here, move. Go to whatever racial Eden you can find. Try Rowanda.
Playing the victim card right till the end.
I’m so sick of these people.

Blacks are the worst racists in America.
